OOPS! AGW's Settled Science Changes Again

Personally I think kittens are the root problem.

Manufactured Outrage Goes To Colleges

Racism is just one tool for campus organization for political purposes.

A quick search of racist graffiti on campus on Google listing the first 12 of 20 cites. Contrived? I think so in that the message and the occurrences appear the same. In many cases the police did not become involved until some student suddenly noticed the markings sparking protests from campus groups already organized and from faculty groups organized to assist the outraged student groups. Variations of the Duke University incident where the students were found innocent of all charges, but are still vilified by the university, the faculty and student groups still perpetuating the myth of a racial attack and rape.

Manufactured Outrage Goes To College

Hate speech at Oberlin College? Sounds fishy:

Oberlin declines to comment on motivations of students behind writings

Sounds a little to coincidental to events at Denison University a few years ago:

Big Stink At Denison University Ain't Smelling Right

It appears that the manufactured outrage ploy has hit campus. Expect it to grow as their policies continue to fail. On the bright side, if they're all in sensitivity training they will have less time to do more damage to the real world.

We'll have to wait for Oberlin. They're not talking. Yet.

Green Drivel

Lovelock still believes anthropogenic global warming is occurring and that mankind must lower its greenhouse gas emissions, but says it’s now clear the doomsday predictions, including his own (and Al Gore’s) were incorrect.

He responds to attacks on his revised views by noting that, unlike many climate scientists who fear a loss of government funding if they admit error, as a freelance scientist, he’s never been afraid to revise his theories in the face of new evidence. Indeed, that’s how science advances.

Among his observations to the Guardian:

(1) A long-time supporter of nuclear power as a way to lower greenhouse gas emissions, which has made him unpopular with environmentalists, Lovelock has now come out in favour of natural gas fracking (which environmentalists also oppose), as a low-polluting alternative to coal.

As Lovelock observes, “Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They’ve gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it … Let’s be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it.” (Kandeh Yumkella, co-head of a major United Nations program on sustainable energy, made similar arguments last week at a UN environmental conference in Rio de Janeiro, advocating the development of conventional and unconventional natural gas resources as a way to reduce deforestation and save millions of lives in the Third World.)

(2) Lovelock blasted greens for treating global warming like a religion.

“It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion,” Lovelock observed. “I don’t think people have noticed that, but it’s got all the sort of terms that religions use … The greens use guilt. That just shows how religious greens are. You can’t win people round by saying they are guilty for putting (carbon dioxide) in the air.”

(3) Lovelock mocks the idea modern economies can be powered by wind turbines.

As he puts it, “so-called ‘sustainable development’ … is meaningless drivel … We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant. I personally can’t stand windmills at any price.”

(4) Finally, about claims “the science is settled” on global warming: “One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don’t know it.” 

Dear President Obama

I wanted to write you and let you know I lost my job today. I am a coal man and even though global warming is a theory in deep trouble the bureaucrats you have working for you showed their love for our earth by heartlessly killing my job.

What will my wife do? How about my kids? What will they learn from this? How about my fellow workers, my neighbors, my friends who work at the stores we can no longer shop at? What will you tell the the drivers, the maintenance crew, the suppliers to our plant, the workers that supplied all these people with gas, equipment and supplies to their jobs so we could do ours? They will soon be out of work and their job loss will do the same to their support people as you have done to us and ours.

What will you replace our lost energy supply with? Do you have a clue? What will you do to help those those that will suffer through brownouts? What will business do to pay their employees with little or no power? What will the store owners where those workers shop tell their employees?

Will government pay all these people? Will government workers lose their jobs? Will the people that made the decisions to put me and others out of work lose their jobs? Maybe they are rich enough to not have to worry. Maybe you have special plans to get power to your government workers so they can continue to improve our economy and our lives.

I don't know anymore. It used to be you worked hard, provided for your family and obeyed the law. If you did these things you were a good person. Well, I can't do these things now.

Have you made me a bad person? Have you a job for me? I don't think so, but I wanted to write and say these things because I really don't have anything else to do right now since coal is now bad. How did it become bad?

Once a proud coal man

Get Ready For Obama's Skyrocketing Cost Increases

As promised by Obama electricity rates will skyrocket. They will skyrocket because of the green movement, the EPA's ludicrous regulations and also because of the overall goal of the Obama administration which is to remake the US economy into a system they want. That citizens of the US didn't vote for this man made disaster, but it is what they are going to get.



Last week PJM Interconnection, the company that operates the electric grid for 13 states (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia) held its 2015 capacity auction. These are the first real, market prices that take Obama’s most recent anti-coal regulations into account, and they prove that he is keeping his 2008 campaign promise to make electricity prices “necessarily skyrocket.”


As far as Obama is concerned it is a feature not a bug that more people will be dependent on the government as costs skyrocket and tens of thousands workers become unemployed because of him.

How ironic that Obama lectured candidate Romney about being president of all the people. How sad.

'Settled Science' Scientists Belittle Themselves To Threats

It's good to be king a protected unelected bureaucrat. Once hired you can make stupid statements, stupid laws and threats and nada can be done to you. You can mix your personal missions with science, stir the beaker and , viola! You have settled science and a fun afternoon of crucifying those who disagree.

EPA Official's 'Philosophy' On Oil Companies: 'Crucify Them' - Just As Romans Crucified Conquered Citizens

In the video, Administrator Armendariz says:

“I was in a meeting once and I gave an analogy to my staff about my philosophy of enforcement, and I think it was probably a little crude and maybe not appropriate for the meeting, but I’ll go ahead and tell you what I said:

“It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean.  They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’dfind the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.

“Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.”

“It’s a deterrent factor,” Armendariz said, explaining that the EPA is following the Romans’ philosophy for subjugating conquered villages.

Soon after Armendariz touted the EPA’s “philosophy,” the EPA began smear campaigns against natural gas producers, Inhofe’s office noted in advance of today’s Senate speech:

“Not long after Administrator Armendariz made these comments in 2010, EPA targeted US natural gas producers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming.

“In all three of these cases, EPA initially made headline-grabbing statements either insinuating or proclaiming outright that the use of hydraulic fracturing by American energy producers was the cause of water contamination, but in each case their comments were premature at best – and despite their most valiant efforts, they have been unable to find any sound scientific evidence to make this link.”

This is how the left does its business. At least they used to have enough shame to contain it to coffee houses and faculty lounges,

Joint letter to NASA Administrator blasts agency’s policy of ignoring empirical evidence

HOUSTON, TX – April 10, 2012.

49 former NASA scientists and astronauts sent a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden last week admonishing the agency for it’s role in advocating a high degree of certainty that man-made CO2 is a major cause of climate change while neglecting empirical evidence that calls the theory into question.

The group, which includes seven Apollo astronauts and two former directors of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, are dismayed over the failure of NASA, and specifically the Goddard Institute For Space Studies (GISS), to make an objective assessment of all available scientific data on climate change. They charge that NASA is relying too heavily on complex climate models that have proven scientifically inadequate in predicting climate only one or two decades in advance.

H. Leighton Steward, chairman of the non-profit Plants Need CO2, noted that many of the former NASA scientists harbored doubts about the significance of the C02-climate change theory and have concerns over NASA’s advocacy on the issue. While making presentations in late 2011 to many of the signatories of the letter, Steward realized that the NASA scientists should make their concerns known to NASA and the GISS.

“These American heroes – the astronauts that took to space and the scientists and engineers that put them there – are simply stating their concern over NASA’s extreme advocacy for an unproven theory,” said Leighton Steward. “There’s a concern that if it turns out that CO2 is not a major cause of climate change, NASA will have put the reputation of NASA, NASA’s current and former employees, and even the very reputation of science itself at risk of public ridicule and distrust.”

Select excerpts from the letter: 

§  “The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASA’s history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements.”

§  “We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated.”

§  “We request that NASA refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases and websites on this subject.”

The full text of the letter:

March 28, 2012

The Honorable Charles Bolden, Jr.
NASA Administrator
NASA Headquarters
Washington, D.C. 20546-0001

Dear Charlie,

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) refrain from including unproven remarks in public releases and websites. We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.

The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASA’s history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements.

As former NASA employees, we feel that NASA’s advocacy of an extreme position, prior to a thorough study of the possible overwhelming impact of natural climate drivers is inappropriate. We request that NASA refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases and websites on this subject. At risk is damage to the exemplary reputation of NASA, NASA’s current or former scientists and employees, and even the reputation of science itself.

For additional information regarding the science behind our concern, we recommend that you contact Harrison Schmitt or Walter Cunningham, or others they can recommend to you.

Thank you for considering this request.

Sincerely,

(Attached signatures)
